Congrats to Canada. Sweden were heavy favorites here before the game. Rightfully so. Our goalie saved 3 out of 6 penalties. Some horrible penalties from the Swedish players though. Two of them even missed the target.
The coach must take responsibility for that. He picked them. Not a good game overall though.

Penalty kicks saved Canada again. A bogus call on the USA in the 72 minute and one on Sweden in the 65th minute. The gifts that keep on giving. Though I will admit their goalkeeper is very good. A team wins gold without scoring a goal in the medal round.

It's kind of unique though to win a championship without scoring a goal in regular time in the play offs. But in the end that doesn't matter of course. Congrats to Canada.

They scored in the second half in the final.

Sure, Sicilian. I agree. But Team USA and Team Sweden have no one to blame but themselves in the end. They simply didn't deliver.

I mean a regular goal (spelmål, I don't know how to translate that) - not a penalty goal. Sorry for failing to make myself understandable...

Megan Rapinoe is actually a very good player. She has a very good right foot. I don't know why she didn't play more in the tournament though. If you made an All Star team in women's football I would have her on it.
Hubris, or jingoism, by Dump and Fox News though expecting nothing but gold from the US team. You actually have to play for it also.

Some sour grapes here, Treaclefingers. I admit that. In many ways this was a tragic defeat for the Swedish team. They have collected so many silver medals before, now it was time for the gold. But there you go...
Congrats to Team Canada anyway. They stood the test and won. Simple as that.
